The first season is... well, okay in places, but doesn't really do anything, and some of the stories fail to be engaging. The second season, by comparison, has River more directly deal with Seven and Six in turn, and comes off stronger for it (Alex Kingston and Colin Baker play off each other wonderfully; but then again Baker works well with pretty much everyone!). But the best story of the set doesn't feature any Doctor, putting River into her own personal Kobayashi Maru test. The third season is very good as well, particularly for the hilariously chaotic 'My Dinner with Andrew'.<br /><br />I would say if you get around to it, the followup seasons are more worth it. But, that's your call to make, naturally.Literate Deadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857084555580377043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-57099418509625503922018-10-09T08:52:33.383-07:002018-10-09T08:52:33.383-07:00I just commented on the Mrs Robinson relationship ...I just commented on the Mrs Robinson relationship on your previous review and now I see you think the same about her relationship with the Matt Smith Doctor. I will say it again: the actors ages play an important part. McGann and Capaldi are of a similar age, not too far from Kingston's With Matt Smith it feels like an older woman trying to seduce a young man.
